The reviewer below doesn't seem to know what she is talking about. I came into the class with only a cursory knowledge of economics, and did fine. There is some economic discussion in the readings, but he doesn't test you on any of it.

And his tests are easy. Do the readings and show up to class and there is now way for you not to get an A. Anyone who says otherwise is just lazy.

The professor is a great person, but he does not know how to teach. He goes through the material really fast and lets you out early. If you do not complete the prereq for this class it is difficult to understand the material. Midterm had 19 multiple choice questions and Final had 30, which is not enough to evaluate your knowledge of the materials. Take this class only if you love econ.
